Relaxing Getaway, Close to Everything
My husband and I celebrated our 10th Anniversary here. From start to finish, our host was wonderful. The environment was cozy and inviting. The views were beautiful and watching the evening come while sitting in the jacuzzi was just what we needed. We will be coming back! The stay was perfect!

Lakeside yet so close to Ann Arbor
Really enjoyed staying at the cottage as an alternative to a hotel in Ann Arbor. Our daughter who is a graduate student at U of M came and stayed with us too. Cottage had plenty of space. We enjoyed the kayaks, swimming and hot tub. Hope to return in the future.
